Windows 10: 1809 Pro upgrade, edges cut off of desktop

Last night I upgraded my Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF (630 integrated graphics) from 1803 Pro to 1809 Pro. The upgrade proceeded normally, but when it was complete, the edges were 'cut off' (overscanned) from the desktop. The graphics driver was already the latest, so upgrading was not an option.

Ultimately, I determined that deleting the device and the driver software corrected the issue, because Device Manager fell back on an older version of the driver. Afterwards, Windows Update tried to push a faulty driver, but I discovered I could 'hide' it so that it wouldn't be automatically installed.

Does anyone know if Dell or Intel plan to make available a new 1809-compatible driver for 630 graphics? I was lucky that this old version worked, otherwise I would have had to have rolled back 1809.

Edge browser stopped working after upgrading to Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809)

Enabling the TCP/IPv6 on the adapter card fixed the issue for me. I did not have it enabled because my IP service provider does not use IPv6 and I had it disabled and Edge worked in that config until I updated to Windows 10 version 1809 in October. Spent several hours trying different suggestions that did not help. This fix took me 20 seconds to implement and get Edge connected to the internet.
